ECONOMIC FATE OF U. S. LINKED TO OLD WORLD Enthusiasm in Business Is Checked by Horseplay at Washington. SLIGHT ADVANCE NOTED Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Although several developments exercising a specific influence in one direction or another have contributed to produce a moderate amount of activity in stock market operations and a favorable effect on sentiment, the '-general feeling in financial circles is less hopeful and confident than it has been recently. It is possible thht the evidence of Europe's unsettled condition which has been brought strik ingly to the forefront by the break in the mark to the basis of .70, and the uncertainty over Silesia have once more brought home to us that we are not isolated from the rest of the world, and that our own economic fate is inseparably linked with that of the troubled Old World. Another factor that tends to chill the constructive enthusiasm of many persons Is the political horseplay at Washington. There does not seem to be much disposition to criticise the executive branch of the Administration, for the President and his official advisers have been thoroughly committed to a policy of retrenchment in expenditures and helpful accomplishment. There is a feeling that the so-called agricultural “bloc" is making a strong play to the galleries and is stirring up a sectional spirit that augurs ill for putting any broad program of achievement into effect. The lotion of the senatorial coterie in regard to taxation has been extremely disheartening, for it should be known to them that the countrv cannot be prosperous with enterprise held in check by excessive taxation burdens, and that any attempt to shift an undue proportion of the load onto the shoulders of a few means that the leaders In enterprise will find their load too heavy for constructive effort, thus resulting in an adverse reaction throughout the whole country. SOME LISES OF TRADE IMPROVED. So far as business Is concerned. Improvement is pronounced chiefly in those industries where liquidation is complete, or a revival has been caused by intrinsic economic strength. Copper furnishes an examDle of the first, while oil and the building trades illustrate the other. Copper is improving simply because production has been reduced to a minimum and a moderate demand is gradually depleting supplies. Attention has been called heretofore in this column to the strong position of the oil industry, ns a result partly of the lessened production of Mexico and the stoppage of drilling operations in tho Unl*ed States.

Our building revival is of an intensive, though somewhat sporadic character. It is more pronounced in the greater Now Tori: district. New England and Middle Went than in the Northwest or the South. Statistics show that the construction is b'-geiy in the nature of home building. The lumber industry has responded sharply to the ii.'•■eased demand for building material. Liquidation also appears to have about run Its course in the leather industry. On the other hand, the position of sugar looks as hopeless as ever. The suggestion made a short time ago l>y one of the '•'tiding New Y- rk bankers to take 1.000.elO tons of raw sugar, refine it and sell ’c to Europe on credit appears to be about. k' onlv measure tlmt would give even a nod'rate do Tee of relief at present. The vogtie of the rails appears to have flattened out for the moment. The cheering Impression created by the large August net is dissipated upon analysis I'i-'lnsin" the manner in which maintenance and equipment have been skimped. The bill must be met some day, and clever bookkeeping will not ward off the ultimate demand. The railroad funding bill must be passed and become operative before the rails can fully regain public favor. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. HOG CHOLERA IS ABATING Say Report of Agricultural Statistician. Although the epidemic of hog cholera, that has been running rampage over the entire State for the past three weeks, has been abating to tn.me extent during the past week, it is still quiet extensive and has caused great damage, according to the weekly crop letter issued today by George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician to the Vnited States Department of Agriculture. Weather conditions during the past week have been very favorable and much outdoor farm work has been done, the report stated. The report in full follows: “Cond.tions were exceptionally favorable for all outdoor farm work during the week, although several very heavy frosts occurred. “Corn is curing out in splendid shape and husking is becoming general over the State. Approximately 5 per cent damage has been done by ear worm and there is considerable mold. “Wheat seeding is practically completed, although some is still being sown in the southern counties. The plauts that are up are looking good, but Hessian fly has been reported in the early sown. “Rye seeding will be completed during the next few days. Acreage will l>e increased very materially in nearly all sections of the State. “The yields of white potatoes are quite variable, but generally small. The quality, however. Is very good. “Pastures continue to furnish an exceptional amount of feed. Meadows and young clover are In splendid condition to go into the winter. “The tobacco crop turned out much better than expected and is of fairly good quality. Some house burning has been reported, but is not general. "The commercial apple crop Is very small and most of it is being stored for future sales. “Hog cholera is abating to some extent, but the loss has been very heavy. Other stock is in good condition generally. “Farm labor is plentiful, but is asking high wages."

Oct. 17.—The cotton market was active and easy at the opening this morning, with prices down 29 to 33 points, influenced by weakness in futures at Liverpool and in securities and grain. There seemed to be quite general selling at the outset, partly based on the news that the railroad unions had authoriz'd a strike. Dealings continued active after the start, with values tending downward, and, at the end of the first fifteen minutes, the list was about 40 points net lower.

STOCK MARu.LT CLOSE IRREGULAR Break in German Marks Is a Market Feature. NEW YORK. Oct. 17.—The stock market closed irregular today. Short covering in the last few minutes promoted recoveries in some issues. Railroad strike talk continued to be the chief influence in the trading. A break in the price of German marks to anew low record of .0052% was a feature. Gall money fell to 4 per ceiG but this had little effect. Retail Stores rose over 1 point to 50%. Mexican Petr ileum rallied from 91% to 93%. Railroad shares Improved fractionally from the low. ‘ Steol issues recovered fractionally in late dealings. Total sales of stocks were 010,800 shares; bonds, $14,280,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) - —Oct. 17— A discussion of the stock market at this time is to all intents and purposes a discussion of the labor situation as created by the sensational action of the railroad brotherhoods in calling a general strike for the end of this month. Should this strike actually become a fact, it will lie different from manySjtliat we have had in the past. It will be. \to a certain extent, revolutionary, in character liecause it will be a strike for' the purpose of repudiating the decision of a body created by act of Congress, and is in many respects similar to the judgement of a court. The public will not fail to comprehend the situation and lends its support to the side that is deserving of support and without public approval and help, no strike can succeed. At the same time we must realize that it is a fight for or against law and order, and the fight may be a bitter one and cause suspension ot business for a considerable period, ns it will be no small matter to obtain all of the help needed to operate the roads with a reasonable degree of efficiency. It would have been surprising, indeed, if we did not meet with liquidation In the stock today, lint judging from the orderly manner in which the market declined' and the comparative ease with which the sales were absorbed, we are led to believe that It is the compisite judgement of this Nation that the outlook is not serious. Nevertheless, we suggest caution iu operations, as the market will be very sensitive to the news from day to day.

GRAIN VALUES SUFFER DECLINES Report of an Increased Visible Supply Chief Factor. CHICAGO, Oet. 17—Grains, especially wheat, took big declines on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The Government report on visible wheat supplies, which showed there Is a great increase in the amount of grains he’d in elevators over last year, influenced the market. Reports that over 2,000,000 bushels of grain a day were being sold in Canada, brought prices down here. Letting up on tha export demand had a tendency to lower the market also. Provisions were irregular. December wheat opened at $1.14%, off le, and closed at sl.lO. May wheat opened off 1c at $1.19, and closed off sc. De’ember corn opened at 47%c, %c lower, and closed off l%c. May corn opened at 53c. off %c, and closed off l%c. December oats opened at 34%e. unchanged. and closed off l%e. May oats opened off %c at 38%c and closed off l%c. By Thomson A: McKinnon) -Oet. 17Wheat —The most significant thing in wheat today was the complete absence of foreign demand and the almost total lack of outside interest. The poor foreign demand may be attributed to some extent to the nnancial situation, but is probably largely due to the comparative independence of European countries, it having been pointed out previously that wheat and rye crops of Central Europe were materially larger than last year. Not only has the export trade in North America disappeared, but Australia ships 2,136.0(H) bushels as against 40,000 bushels last year. Competition from the Southern hemisphere is likely to become more important as time passes. The crop report was mussed up in publication, but we construe it to read that there are 029,000,000 bushels in all positions in the United States. Deducting from this 100.000,000 bushels for farm requirements, feed and seed, leaves 029,000,000 available for consumption and export. These figures do not carry the idea of ultimate fnmlne. The Increasing load of the visible supplv is telling upon a market, which is devoid of foreign outlet. I’rices must decline to some point where our surplus will lie taken. Corn and Oats—Hedging sales against the visible supply is a distinct load upon corn and oats, particularly so because of the very poor cash demand. Values have renched the point where there is not much virtue In selling, but, at the same time, strong reasons for higher prices are not discoverable. Provisions—A better cash trade iu lard induced a little short covering earlv, later prices being influenced bv weakness iu grains and an easier hog market CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Oet. 17— WHEAT— Oren.

There was a top of $8.95 oil a few extra good mixed swine, while the bulk of tile sales were made at $8.85. There was a better demand for pigs than was even displayed dur ng the markets cf the week before and that grade of swine generally brought the price of the loads. Trade In cattle was extremely dull and receipts were light. Prices were generally steady, although there were a few sales of steers at prices that looked some higher than < n the do. ing market of last* week. Receipts were heavy at around 1.309 and buyers were none too anxious to buy. Tli're was a somewhat better demand for calves- and, with a light run, prices were generally strong. A top of sl3 on choice calves was maintained, while the bulk of that grade sold at $12(512.50. Th.-re were close to 350 calves on the market. Sheep and lambs values were 25®.>0c lower, with receipts around 400, and the demand none too good.

Nelson Boisna wer Frank Nelson, giving his address as Knoxville, Tenn., war bound over to the grand jury under $3,030 bond today in city court by Judge Walter Pritchard. Nelson, who finished a sentence in the county jail yesterday on a charge of petit larceny is the man who lowered a rope from the third floor of the jail to Fred McKinney, who tied a revolver and six saws to it and who was implicated in the attempted jail delivery Saturday. The charge on which he is held is aiding and abetting a prisoner to escape. ‘ICE TRUST’ CASES NOW BEING HEARD Seven Companies Charged With Pri „ Fixing. After preliminary arguments and motions were disposed of Judge W. H. Eichhorn of Bluffton today began hearing evidence in the so-called “Ice trust” cases In Superior Court, room 1. The case was filed by Attorney General U. S. Lesh last July in a complaint that charged the companies with violating the State anti trust law. The defendants took a change of venue from Judge W. W. Thornton, the regular jurist of this court. The suit Is directed against the Polar Ice and Fuel Company, the Zero Ice and Fuel Company, the Irvington Ice Company, the Holt Ice and Cold Storage Company, the Coonse & Cavlor Ice Company, the Merchants Ice Sompany, the Seri ice lee and Cold Storage Company and Stanley Wyckoff, Individually, and also ns secretary of the Indiana Ice Dealers’ Association. Mr. Wyckoff was Federal food administrator for Marion County during the war. The entire morning was taken in reading the examinations of Mr. Wyckoff and Harvey Coonse which had been taken prior to the formal beginning of the trial. The examinations dealt with the prices of ice at various periods. The transcript of the examination of Mr. Wyckoff showed that his counsel blocked efforts of the attorney general to secure from Wyckoff information concerning certain correspondence he had with representatives of the Federal Government. The transcript of the evidence sought to show that Mr. Wyckoff did not fix the price of ice but approved of the recommendation after it was made by the fair price committee. Indications are that the hearing will occupy the entire week. Judge Eichh >rn is hearing the evidence without a jury.

wARD ASKS TO BE KEPT POSTED Works Body Makes Request in Pleasant Run Parkway. In order that there might be no delay in adoption of a resolution for the extension of the Pleasant Run main interceptor from Keystone avenue to Irvington, solving the sanitary problems of the eastern and southeastern sections of the city, the board of public works today requested the board of park commissioners to keep it posted upon steps taken to acquire a right-of-way for the ezten- . sion of Pleasant Run Parkway from Shelby to East Washington streets. The bord of works plans to lay the sewer along the boulevard rlglit-of-way in order to save the expense of a separate route. The park board last Thursday adopted a resolution for the acquisition of the ground along Pleasant Run from Shelby to Prospect streets. Other sections between Prospect and East Washington streets are to be acquired by later resolutions. Action upon a resolution for the widening to forty feet and resurfacing of Fourteenth street from Illinois to Meridian streets was postponed for four weeks upon request of John C. Ituckelsbaus, attorney, representing the Catholic church which has property upon th& south side of Fourteenth street which would be affected. In the iuterim the question of widening the street will be referred to the city plan commission, Mark H. Miller, president of the board, announced.

iSpcaos Sheridan Shows Title Form in Putting Over Victory on Tech Team Not content with having knocked Tecb out of a chance at the State championship last year, it remained for the Sheridan High School football team to journey down here Saturday and rub it in by j handing out the tirtt shut >ut defeat the i Green and White has suffered since it entered the football arena last fall. The ' final score was 26 to 0 and it clearly > shows the superiority of ih* Sheridan aggregation. which was pronounced by critics who saw the game as one of tbo ; most formidable high school elevens that has showed in Indianapolis since local schools took up the grid game again last I year. Sh Titian rountod a touchdown each | quarter, while holding Tech for the most part practically helpless throughout the ! game. The powerful attack and machiue- ’ like rlay es the Sheridan eleven featured ; the contest. Parr and Xorthain formed a backfielil combination that Tech could noi solve and it early became evident that the best Tech could do would l>o to hold the invaders to a reasonably low score. Manual, carrying Indianapolis color* out of the State, succumbed after ? creditable fight to Manual High of Louisville, by a 27 to 13 score. Both teams presented a powerful attack and It sooa became evident that scoring on both sides woull be predominant. Summers and Harmeson gained consistently for Manual. while Stuart picked up a Louisville fumble on his own five-yard line and raced down the field for a touchdown. Williams, Louisville halfback, was the best man in the Louisville line-up, and his consistent gaining was more than Indianapolis Manual could handle. Saturday's defeat was the first of the season for Manual. Kieekheifer New Three Cushion Titleholder PITTSBURGH. Pa..
